Throwing my hat into the realignment ring (NCAA 14)

Here's a realignment option I've been tinkering with for a while. It's a healthy mix of classic conferences/divisions with a focus on geography but also with some fresh ideas. Plus, there's a fun new conference I think people will like.

One of the main rules I had while making this was that conferences with numbers in their name must have that exact number of schools. Also, I didn't want any conferences with uneven numbers or more than 12 schools. This is what I came up with:

Appalachian Athletic Conference

Cincinnati Kentucky Louisville Marshall Ohio Pittsburgh Tennessee Virginia Virginia Tech West Virginia

Atlantic Coast Conference

NORTH Buffalo Maryland Penn State Rutgers Syracuse Temple UConn UMass

SOUTH Clemson Florida State Georgia Tech Miami North Carolina North Carolina State Old Dominion Wake Forest

Big 12 Conference
